Nice looking coin but I can't determine if it is just weakly struck hair detail or perhaps a nicely toned slider.

I'll say AU-58 as well.

Color radial toning is for the most part undisturbed, which draws me to the assumption that high points exhibit signs of a slightly weaker strike. To confirm, examine the coin with a high powered loupe looking for undisturbed luster on the high points, while angling the coin under the light source. Strong sunlight would be best.

Somewhat of a pity that the nice colors don't cover the whole coin. For that reason, reverse has better eye appeal.

I'm leaning more weakly struck, but it could go either way to many. This one needs an in hand close up examination.

My first impression was ms62 because of the lack of blazing luster and the reverse doesn't appear to even have a rub on the breast, wing tips or eagles head. The obverse it what made me think twice because of the weak hair details above the forehead, the ear, the cotton, and the hair curls. Either way, I can live with an AU58 grade with very few bagmarks and a fairly clean cheek. Just trying to be accurate with my grading so I wanted to get the opinion of the community. Thank you all for your input.
